The all-weather lifeboat Douglas Aikman Smith was called at 6.40am to Invergordon Sailing Club, where crew found the man inside the vehicle with water up to the windows and a fast incoming tide. On the inflatable daughter boat, two crew members rescued the man and took him to waiting paramedics. Crew then worked with fire and rescue services to recover the Land Rover.
